In this episode of Behind the Uniform - Season 3 - we feature senior defensive tackle Rayshaun Benny. The former Oak Park high standout reflects upon his career to this point, including his recovery from a major knee injury in the Rose Bowl during Michigan's run to the national championship. Benny recounts his grueling rehab and the time it took for him to return to pre-injury form, and the performances he and his teammates put on en route to beating Ohio State and Alabama last year. The conversation then shifts to heightened expectations for his level of play this season, how he's embracing them, and his belief that the defense won't suffer any drop-off in performance due to the improvements he and several others have made. Benny specifically praises the depth of the defensive line, including new transfers Tre' Williams and Damon Payne. He also shares insights from the "Playbook for Prosperity" seminar with the University of Michigan Credit Union stressing the importance of budgeting, and David Himich from The Himich Group at Morgan Stanley on long-term financial planning. The interview concludes with Benny sharing his impressions of Bryce Underwood and looking ahead to what he expects to be another year of stellar Michigan defense.
